Chapter 87 Chapter 87 When did I become as big as Matsuda...
It was already the evening of the fourth day when Morofushi Kagemitsu arrived in Tokyo.
He is a man of action, but thinking of filling in the gaps in his childhood memories in Nagano, he stayed here for two more days.
Zhu Fujingguang actually restored the things in this world about Gaimori Arisato and how he was thinking about how to avoid the tragedy of his parents.
When he was in elementary school, Morofushi Jingguang's first thought was to see if there was a girl named Sotomori Arisato in his class, but he couldn't find her. Then, relying on his father's status as a teacher, he acted like a spoiled child and looked through the rosters of other classes—even the ones from the previous grade—but he couldn't find Sotomori Arisato either.
This made Zhu Fujingguang quite puzzled but also relieved.
Although it is not clear why Gaimori Arisato did not attend the same school as himself this time, since he can start his life over again, it is not impossible that Gaimori Arisato went to other schools or even other cities due to the butterfly effect or other reasons.
Although the root cause of the tragedy had not been revealed, Zhu Fujingguang was still unable to completely let go of his worries.
As the date of the murder in his previous life approached, he became anxious and restless, and his father even teased him about whether he was looking forward to summer vacation too much.
Upon hearing this, Keimitsu Morobushi thought of another way. Originally, 1207 had been urging him to go to Tokyo to find Rei Furuya, but Keimitsu Morobushi had never taken action because he was not sure where Rei Furuya was before he met him, and because he was too young to ask to go to Tokyo.
It is now very close to the date when he met Rei Furuya. If he begs his parents to take him and his brother to Tokyo, he can take the opportunity to get to know Rei Furuya and avoid the crime scene on the original date of the crime.
Having made up his mind, Zhufu Jingguang first spent two days to deal with his most difficult brother - because Zhufu Gaoming originally wanted to attend summer camp - and then spent half a day to get his parents' consent.
The result pleased Morobushi Kagemitsu very much. He successfully captured the blond child who had just been beaten up in a place where the young Rei Furuya might be, and they quickly developed a very close friendship.
And the horrific and bloody day in the previous life passed safely amid the laughter and joy in Tokyo.
After recovering this memory, Morobushi Kagemitsu felt that the possibility of Gaimori Arisato being related to his own strange experience had greatly increased, and he also felt that the memory he was looking for in Nagano was almost complete.
The parents, who had originally planned to leave for Tokyo in the morning, but had previously said, "Go ahead and find your memory," became more and more worried the more they saw their little son going on a long journey, and they packed more and more clothes and food.
Morobushi Kagemitsu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at the huge suitcase. In the end, it was Morobushi Takamichi who stopped his father from trying to stuff another large bag of freshly baked cookies into the suitcase, saying that Kagemitsu was going to the bustling Tokyo instead of going to the next door forest to survive in the wild for a month.
"Why do you carry such a big suitcase?" Even though he tried his best to carry less things, he was still ridiculed by Jinpei Matsuda who came to pick him up at the station.
A few days ago, Rei Furuya, who had said he would come to pick up Keimitsu Morobushi, happened to be about to leave the police department when Rum finally gave in. As the person in charge and former subordinate of Rum, Rei Furuya naturally had to stay and follow up on the matter.
And Matsuda Jinpei, who had spoken with Morifushi Kagemitsu yesterday, volunteered to take over the task of picking up the person - although it was said that Furuya Rei did not give up the task voluntarily, it would be useless if he was not willing - in the end, it was the curly-haired officer who brought back Morifushi Kagemitsu and a suitcase that was half his height from the station.
The public security chief, who was an excellent professional, said that he could complete Rum's interrogation within two hours. He provided the addresses of several restaurants and asked them to choose one they liked and go there to order food while he arrived. He did not give Matsuda Jinpei the opportunity to bring the cat-eye chef back to start cooking.
This made Matsuda Jinpei tsk in dissatisfaction. "I actually picked an apartment with a large supermarket downstairs."
Morofushi Jingguang found it funny. There were delicious foods everywhere in Tokyo, and there was no reason for Matsuda Jinpei to be thinking about the food he cooked after being here for a few days. He probably said this because he instinctively wanted to challenge Furuya Rei.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly felt a little envious: Zhen Ping and Zero were classmates in the police academy, that's great.
"I was actually planning to stay at Zhenping's place for a night or two before renting another place, but Zero said he had moved to a bigger apartment. Plus, I'll be traveling with him more often, so I decided to stay at Zero's place."
The bustling lights of Tokyo reflected in Morobushi Jingguang's eyes, making them seem even calmer. "Well... of course I'll also ask Zhen Ping to take me back to my old place."
His words were a little cryptic, but Matsuda Jinpei immediately understood: "Why?"
"You want to see how turbulent our past, or rather, Jin Ping's past, was," Zhu Fujingguang teased half-seriously. "After all, Zero specifically emphasized to me that you were staying in a single apartment this time."
This means that Matsuda Jinpei had lived with someone before, and the person he was living with was most likely that Hagiwara Kenji - Furuya Reirei commented that it is indeed appropriate to call that person a "crazy pursuer" now.
Morufushi Kagemitsu said this because he wanted to see Matsuda Jinpei's current attitude towards that person. If he was too disgusted, he would not mention it later.
Officer Curly snorted, "Yeah, but my neighbors complained that I turned my single-bedroom apartment into a double. Every time I open the door, I see a bunch of unidentified creatures at the door."
A question mark appeared in Zhu Fujingguang's head: "Huh?"
"Ha, I don't know when he got his brain damaged. Yesterday he took a box of matches and said that if I didn't let him in, he would become a dog selling matches." Matsuda Jinpei said as he parked the car in front of an Italian restaurant.
Morofushi Kagemitsu wasn't picky about food, so he gave the decision to Matsuda Jinpei. He initially thought he'd choose an izakaya, but unexpectedly, he chose an Italian restaurant.
When he heard Kenji Hagiwara compare himself to a dog, Keimitsu Morifushi recalled the scene he saw that night. He felt that Kenji Hagiwara might have a clear self-awareness, and he also wanted to complain about whether there were some strange little habits between them.
But when he looked at Matsuda Jinpei, he found that the pair of navy blue eyes not covered by the sunglasses were colder than the moonlight.
It's not some quarrelsome couple who are just complaining but actually showing off their affection, but even if they say it in a light-hearted tone, it's still something that they truly feel troubled and even painful.
Morobushi Kagemitsu sighed inwardly. He had assumed, based on Matsuda Jinpei's frequent daze-like behavior during the previous two months in Kanagawa, and his decision to return to Tokyo after meeting Hagiwara Kenji, that Matsuda Jinpei was slowly accepting Hagiwara Kenji, and perhaps a happy reconciliation would soon be in sight.
But it’s hard to say now.
Morofushi Kagemitsu, an outsider who knew little about their story—what little he knew was told to him by Furuya Rei reluctantly. Furuya Rei seemed reluctant to mention Hagiwara Kenji in front of him—it was best not to comment on this before he knew the full story.
After sitting down at the reserved seat, Matsuda Jinpei asked Morofushi Keimitsu to order food for the three of them.
Zhu Fujingguang: “…” Didn’t you choose the restaurant yourself?
Matsuda Jinpei looked back confidently: "I don't understand."
It's all in Japanese, what's there to not understand... Zhu Fushigaki Jingguang felt a sense of fear and ordered three identical ones with a smile.
Just when I was ordering, Rei Jōgō sent me a message saying that he had finished his overtime work, so the food should be served by the time I arrived at the restaurant.
While waiting, Morofushi Kagemitsu asked Matsuda Jinpei if he had encountered any interesting things since returning to work at the Metropolitan Police Department.
"I have a lot of worries," Matsuda Jinpei said, fiddling with his sunglasses with his nimble left hand. "I didn't tell them why I left, and none of them could contact me. So the guys in the Explosion Squad secretly assumed I was dead. They were like seeing a ghost, howling like ghosts. After a moment of terror, they rushed over, hugged my thighs, and burst into tears."
Morofushi Jingguang thought about this scene and couldn't help laughing. After being stared at unkindly by Matsuda Jinpei, he tried to regain his composure and said, "Please continue."
"Those guys were crying and yelling all sorts of nonsense, which I couldn't make out. And after that, it was even more inexplicable. There were always one or two people following me from a distance. If I lost them, I'd get terrified." Matsuda Jinpei's face darkened as he spoke, and the temples of his sunglasses creaked under the weight. "As a result, passersby mistakenly thought I was a criminal being followed by the police several times a day."
This time, Zhu Fujingguang really couldn't hold it in anymore. He tried hard to hold back his laughter under the death gaze of the "criminal", but a strange laughter sound similar to "gurgling" still came out of his throat.
Finally, he gave up on hiding it completely and laughed for a full five minutes before stopping. He struggled to wipe away the tears that had formed from laughing. "Actually, they really like Zhen Ping and are worried that he'll leave again. Although it does sound strange... is there anything to be happy about?"
Matsuda Jinpei pondered for a moment before answering, "Not yet, but there is one thing that left a lasting impression on me. After returning, I discovered that a police officer with a buzz cut had been transferred to Souyi next door two months ago. His case-handling skills were even more remarkable than his bulk. After that one encounter, I realized there were actually some smart male officers in Souyi."
Zhu Fushigi Kagemitsu: "..." This was the first time he realized that Matsuda Jinpei was really very lenient with him.
Zhu Fujingguang raised his eyebrows: "No matter what, I am still very pleased that Zhen Ping can make new friends."
"...What's wrong with your tone? Is Mr. Jing going to become Mother Jing?" Matsuda Jinpei was unhappy at first, and then he was very bold and tried to give Morobushi Kagemitsu a new nickname.
Just as the young man with cat eyes was about to warn him that it looked like he wouldn't have the chance to patronize the supermarket downstairs, a familiar, pleasant male voice interrupted: "Huh? When did I become a disobedient son as big as Matsuda?"
He instinctively shouted "zero". Just as Zhu Fujingguang was about to turn around to look at You Xunran, his vision was mostly obscured by a large area of pure blue. He could only notice the blond young man sitting down next to him.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked down and saw a large bunch of beautifully blooming philodendrons in his arms.
